Media Reviews
'A masterpiece.' The Times 'The writing is miraculous: multi-layered, poetic and unlike anyone else's.' George Melly, Books of the Year, Sunday Telegraph 'Ferocious in its anger, grotesque, funny, violent, startlingly beautiful and, above all, heartbreakingly sad... I urge you to read it.' Observer 'A vivid, voluptuous, exhilarating writer.' Sunday Telegraph 'Hugely original... passages burn with the intense pleasure of story-making, of the abandon that comes from a seething of ideas and their joyful mutation into words.' Guardian
